This is an open-label extension study intended for subjects who have previously completed study A0221045 (fesoterodine in elderly OAB patients) and who have been recommended by the investigator as being suitable for the extended use of Fesoterodine. Data from this study will extend the evaluation of efficacy, tolerability and safety of Fesoterodine in older subjects from Portugal.

Mean Number of Micturition-Related Urgency Episodes Per 24 Hours (End of Treatment [EOT]) [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (up to Week 82) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with Urinary Sensation Scale (USS) rating of greater than or equal to (>=) 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to 3 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of severe micturition-related urgency episodes per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of micturitions with USS rating of greater than or equal to (>=) 4 divided by the total number of days that diary data was collected at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

Micturitions include episodes of voluntary micturition and episodes of Urgency Urinary Incontinence (UUI). UUI episodes were defined as those micturitions with USS rating of 5 in the diary in participants with UUI at baseline. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

Nocturnal micturitions were defined as micturitions with USS rating 1-5 that occurred between the time the participant went to bed and the time he or she arose to start the next day. USS rating: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. The mean number of nocturnal micturitions per 24 hours was calculated as the total number of nocturnal micturitions divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

UUI episodes were defined as those with the USS rating of 5 in the diary. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The daily sum rating was calculated as the mean rating score on the USS multiplied by the mean number of micturitions per 24 hours at that visit. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine. Numerical decrease indicates improvement.

UUI episodes were defined as those with the urinary sensation scale (USS) rating of 5 in the diary. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

UUI episodes were defined as those with the urinary sensation scale (USS) rating of 5 in the diary. USS total range 1 to 5: 1. No feeling of urgency, 2. Mild feeling of urgency, 3. Moderate feeling of urgency, 4. Severe feeling of urgency, 5. Unable to hold; leak urine.

The mean number of urinary incontinence pads (IP), barrier creams (BC) and powder used per 24 hours is calculated as the total number of IP, BC and powder used divided by the total number of diary days collected at that visit.

Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Perception of Bladder Condition (PPBC) at Month 3,6,9,12,15,18, and End of Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, End of Treatment (Week 82) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in Patient Perception of Urgency Scale (PPUS) at Months 3,6,9,12,15,18, and End of Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, End of Treatment (Week 82) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

PPUS: self-administered, single-item, questionnaire that measured the participant's perception of urinary urgency. It was sensitive to changes in perceptions of urinary urgency over time. Score of 0 (usually not able to hold urine), 1 (usually able to hold urine [without leaking] until reaching toilet if go to toilet immediately), or 2 (usually able to finish what he/she was doing before going to toilet [without leaking]). Change = observation minus baseline. Deterioration: negative difference of scores; improvement: increase of 1 or more points in difference of scores, relative to baseline.
